While it may screech towards certain parts, the actors contribute in their own way, either it through surprisingly good acting or fitting humor. The transition between grand locations, or towards another scuffle, is accompanied by good cinematography and equally vibrating soundtracks.
It also helps that choreography for fights look convincingly fast and brutal enough to suit each character. The action stars collide in battle royale style, even if one scraps all the other parts of the movie, there's an inevitable hook in the concept of The Rock, Vin Diesel and Jason Statham trading actual and verbal jabs. It's nearly infectious in the delivery, almost looking like collection of scenes deemed to be too absurd and until now was buried in action movie vault yet they are so gleefully pompous, one can't help being dragged around by its pace. There's the same amount of fists thrown and flying cars, and any other unbelievable shenanigans in between, in glorious slow motion and less glorious CGI. It's not without the humor and charm, it might even be distracting if they sound too flamboyant seeing the action is downright the stuff of superhero movie. The script consists of war cries from video games and old school banters from decades ago. For the better parts, this works in creating a minimal drama even though there's bound to be slight disbelief concerning the plot, or just disregard of simple physic in general.
Story doesn't veer much from the already established formula, another new threat that tries to divide and conquer, giving ample opportunities for the myriad of action heroes to fight, as well as collaborate, with each other. However, fueled by staggering amount of star power and crowd pleasing scenes, it's undoubtedly s fantastic spectacle. It may feel zealously exaggerated, and with high level of adrenaline and testosterone, it is indeed excessive. What started as racing franchise has now shifted gear into a mix of old James Bond flick and shade of Marvel blockbuster.
